noon o kabab.

noon o kabab is a persian restaurant in albany park. i recently ordered carry out from there.

the pro :
- they know what a vegan is and have lots of vegan items on the menu.

the con :
- the hummus and baba ghannouj are not vegan. i repeat, they are not vegan. tears.

anyway, i tried a sampling of their vegan dishes. although there are many more!

here's my little platter :

clockwise from the top : vegetarian mix curry & dill rice, dolma grapeleaves, falafel & roasted eggplant.
thoughts? the vegetarian mix curry was okay ... a little bland. the rice was delish. the dolma were good. the falafel were awesome. kind of the perfect falafel ball. the roasted eggplant was also awesome. and a nice substitute since there was no baba ghannouj. (wah!)

what other vegan items are there at noon o kabab you ask?

appetizers :

- caspian eggplant

- dolmel felfel

- pomegranate mushrooms

- tabouli

- persian salad

- persian garden salad (minute the cheese)

entrees :

- shirin polo

- adass polo

- lobia polo

sides:

- white rice

- charbroiled vegetables

- charbroiled tomatoes

- torshi

in summation, dining at noon o kabab = a happy vegan.

unless you are craving hummus & baba ghannouj. then try semiramis next door.
